Red Solid Engineering Brick 65mm
Red solid engineering bricks are designed for applications where high strength, low water absorption and durability are essential. Commonly used in structural and below ground construction, these engineering bricks are ideal for foundations, retaining walls, manholes, drainage works and damp-proof course applications.
Manufactured from durable clay with a smooth red finish, solid engineering bricks provide excellent compressive strength and resistance to frost and moisture. Their dense construction makes them suitable for demanding residential, commercial and civil engineering projects.
Key Features
- Size: 215 x 102.5 x 65mm
- Solid clay engineering brick
- High compressive strength
- Low water absorption
- Suitable for below ground applications
- Frost resistant and durable
- Smooth red finish
- Suitable for structural and load-bearing work
- Class B engineering brick performance
Applications
These red solid engineering bricks are suitable for use in demanding construction environments where strength and moisture resistance are important. Common applications include foundations, retaining walls, drainage channels, manholes, sewers and areas below damp-proof course level.
Performance
Engineering bricks are manufactured specifically for their technical performance rather than aesthetic appearance. Class B engineering bricks typically provide compressive strength of 75N/mm² and water absorption of 7% or less, making them suitable for structural and groundworks applications.
Durability
With excellent frost resistance and low porosity, solid engineering bricks are designed to withstand severe exposure conditions. Their dense construction provides long-term durability in environments exposed to moisture and ground contact.
Manufacturing Standards
Manufactured in accordance with BS EN 771-1, these engineering bricks are produced to meet recognised standards for clay masonry units used in construction and civil engineering projects.
Important Information
Engineering bricks are manufactured for performance characteristics rather than visual consistency. Variations in colour and texture may occur between batches. Where appearance is a primary consideration, facing bricks may be more suitable.
